After installing Python2.7, a patched nose (http://bitbucket.org/kumar303/nose-2_7_fixes/ because unittest._TextTestResult has been removed) and numpy '1.5.0.dev8011', numpy.test crashes with a segmentation fault with the test for: test_multiarray.TestIO.test_ascii
If I understand the test correctly: $ python Python 2.7a1 (r27a1:76674, Dec 14 2009, 13:46:01) [GCC 4.4.1 20090725 (Red Hat 4.4.1-2)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Please run it under gdb to obtain a backtrace. $ gdb --args python ... (gdb) run ... (gdb) bt ...
This code works under Python2.6 and numpy '1.5.0.dev8011'.
Please also test the 1.4.x branch http://svn.scipy.org/svn/numpy/branches/1.4.x Does it fail too on Python 2.7? There are very few code changes since 1.4.x on the path that the test exercises. -- Pauli Virtanen
